Sandi Tan recommends
Planes (2022)
Peter C Baker
"Peter Baker is that rare confident novelist with the most delicate touch. With his twin dramas unfolding on separate planes in Rome and in North Carolina, he shows us that the invisible network connecting everyone can be just as much impersonal actions taken by Washington as intimate domestic secrets that go unshared. Baker has the eye of a seasoned journalist and the ear of a poet; I can't wait to be absorbed in whatever he writes next."
Bibliolepsy (1997)
Gina Apostol
"For all those who've wondered if there exists a female Roberto Bolano--lusty, word-drunk, and ferociously committed to her milieu--here's Gina Apostol!"
